My daughter often belts out her favorite praise song, “I love you Lord.. and I lift my noise…!”; The rest of our family gave up correcting her and now follows suit. The phrase is quite fitting for the 6 of us, actually. Given the lively atmosphere of our home, coupled with our attempts as a family to lift our dailies to Christ, but also my prayer as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend & writer that any “noise”; I lift be for the encouragement of those around me:
“If you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak.”
Acts 13:15
